However I think this is not homogeneous in regard to the current behaviour of TinyBSD: while the base system would still be included on a per-file basis, library dependencies being brought in automatically, using pkg_add(1) for third-party apps would lead to include the whole package, including manpages, documentation, configuration files along with the binaries. Moreover, this may not be a desirable behaviour for an embedded system. My feeling is that TinyBSD has used the KISS principle so far. The code as well as the configuration is somewhat raw (no offence here), but it is thereby easy to use, debug and modify at needs. I am going to code this in my source tree this afternoon and I will be glad to provide you the patch.
